Don't do it! Double box them, then arrange to have them shipped by air in Winter. If they sit on the deck of a boat for three weeks in Summer, they WILL be warped, very possibly no longer playable.
How to: Pack Vinyl Collection for Shipment on Boat
Moving to Europe this week and need to know how to properly pack a record collection of about 200 plates for shipment. I have the packed in Scorpio record shipping boxes that I sourced from a local shop, they are cardboard with padding. I am concerned about the heat and moisture as they will be sitting in a storage container as they travel across the Atlantic for 3 weeks in the heat, baking on the deck.
1: Wrap cardboard boxes in plastic?
2: Store vertically of lay them flat, to avoid warping ?
3: Moisture control?
4: Please give me any advice to help me ensure that they arrive in the condition they have left.
THanks guys. I will be looking forward to your advice.
